Single Tooth Solutions
For patients who are only missing one tooth, we can fill the gap in your smile with a single dental implant that secures a natural-looking porcelain crown. Our crowns are custom-made to match the unique shape, size, and color of your surrounding teeth. And they’re created from durable materials to ensure effective, long-lasting results.
For patients who are short on time, we also feature CEREC® Same Day Crowns. This convenient treatment option allows us to deliver a high-quality replacement tooth in just one appointment.
Multi-Tooth Solutions
To replace more than one missing teeth that are adjacent to one another, the best options are typically either a dental bridge or partial denture secured by two or more implants.
The implants will anchor your bridge or partial denture to your jawbone, ensuring comfort and stability. This also eliminates the strain on your surrounding teeth that often results from traditional bridges and dentures.
Dr. Schlafer can also use individual dental implants to restore more than one missing teeth that are not adjacent.
Full Arch Replacement
For patients who are missing a whole arch of teeth, or even both arches, Dr. Schlafer will frequently recommend implant-supported dentures. Using just four to six dental implants, we’ll surgically attach your dentures for greater comfort and increased chewing power.
You can choose between fixed dentures, which are not removable, or snap-on dentures, which still offer the stability of implants but can be removed for your convenience.
We also feature All-on-4® implant-supported dentures. The All-on-4 process eliminates the need for bone grafting and shortens your recovery time, making it a popular option with our patients.
Another benefit with All-on-4 is that all surgical procedures are performed in one day, and you’ll leave our office wearing an attractive, fully functional temporary prosthetic. Then you’ll return to our office at a later date to get your permanent restoration.
